Eventually I would love to be generous with what I learn and help people achieve their goals which is what I love about this forum.

Hey all,My name is Tony, I'm 35, just started actively pursuing financial independence and have been really hammering away at learning everything I can.

Start by deepening your understanding of CRE fundamentals, including net operating income (NOI), cap rates, and lease structures like triple net (NNN).

Fortunately for me, I started investing a time in the market where everything went up.  

I'm starting my first deal and got on the call with the agent and ended it with a deal with me making almost 5k but after this idk what to do, we haven't signed a contract or anything but getting to and and I just need someone to be by my side for this, I'll throw you some of what im making somehow but I just really Need help

I started investing in RE when I was 26.

And eventually it shifted to more straight rentals as the market for capital got easier again.

As sellers realize that buyers cannot pay the same price for the same income stream as before due to the higher rates dampening overall buyer returns over that 6-month market cycle, sellers will eventually transact at lower prices, making it more apparent to sellers where the current market pricing is.

@Geoff Engel I'm 42 with two tweens and got started on the FI journey about 10 years ago.

Glad I got started young.
